The file "MOTO_BH_g.gz" is a gzip'd binary of my X server for
Motorola PowerStack systems with an onboard Cirrus chip.
[The "BH" stands for "Blackhawk" which was the internal
name for the system.]
The server is an "accel" type X server based on Gary's (gdt)
XFree86-3.1.2 source tree.
The only hardware acceleration that I have added is to use the
hardware cursor. I plan to work on getting the Blitter to work
for screen-to-screen area copies (to make xterm scroll faster)
when I have more time to play.
I have only run a few quick tests:
1) X emacs seems to work okay
2) I pointed netscape from an AIX box to
my X server and went to gdt's home page and
his smiling face appeared
There are many problems with the X server here is a short list:
1) hardcoded resolution and refresh rate: 1024x768x8 @ 60Hz
2) will core dump when coming out of screen saver mode
the workaround is to do: "xset s off"
3) will core dump if you do a Virtual Terminal switch
4) is slow, need to at least add screen to screen blit
support for xterm scrolling.
5) core dumped when I ran x11perf
I will provide my source and XFree86-3.1.2 changes after I cleanup
my tree a bit more.
